Enduring to the end is ..

“The doctrine of Christ — faith in the Savior and His Atonement, repentance, baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost — is not intended to be a one-time event, but to be repeated and iterative. Repeatedly means that we cycle through the elements in the doctrine of Christ throughout our lives. Iteratively means that we change and improve with each cycle….Each element in the doctrine of Christ builds on the preceding step — repentance builds on faith — baptism on repentance — the gift of the Holy Ghost on baptism, and then the sequence recurs. Each cycle ends progressively higher, so the subsequent cycle is higher and different…. Enduring to the end does not mean completing the first four steps, then hunkering down, gritting one’s teeth and waiting to die. No, enduring to the end is actively and intentionally repeating the steps in the doctrine of Christ.” (Dale G Renlund)
